Lexie Obey is a Piapot First Nations women and a trail runner, who recently starred in a beautiful short film titled Miyo-Kiyokâwin, which means "visiting in a good way". In it, Lexie explores her connection to the land, and the often difficult balance between using extreme sports to "conquer the mountain" or "visit the mountain".
It’s my honour to talk to Lexie about how to practice reciprocity with the land, and how to start making that important change in perspective from seeing land as a thing to land as spirit. We also talk about doing hard things as a path to finding joy, what it’s like to be both environmentally conscious and a tree-planter in Canada, and how individualism and spiritual connection with land and nature are diametrically opposed.
I am blessed to have my good friend Lexie Obey on The Journey Podcast, and I hope you find as much joy and value in this conversation as I did.
